The Truth of Magic

Chapter 138 Dew and Shadow (24)

"Are you okay?" The female mage Lu looked around and asked Zhao Xu with concern.

It's just that in front of her is still a dark and reddish silent forest, and there is no abnormality.

The female mage Ying squatted down, holding the fishing line that Zhao Xu had tripped over between the two tree stumps, and then looked in the direction of the arrow to the top of a tall cypress tree not far away.

She shook her head and said, "It's just a simple trap. If it's not poisoned or critically hit, the damage of less than 6hp can't kill a mage with 14 physique like him."

At this moment, Zhao Xu forgot even the faint pain in his chest, and asked strangely, "You can tell that I have a physique of 14?"

The female mage Ying sneered: "I also know that you only have 8 strength. If you observe people with different attributes, it will be easy to guess after building a model with their measurements."

At this time, the female mage Lu observed for a long time, and after confirming that there was no follow-up attack, she also squatted down and looked at Zhao Xu and said, "It's just a simple bow and arrow trap."

She looked at Zhao Xu's wound and said, "I have medical skills, let me help you take a look first, to avoid any toxicity."

Zhao Xu just shook his head slightly at the female mage's kindness.

After such an arrow, he already understood.

This is the warning Leian gave him.

All the plots are no longer as planned at the beginning.

Although Zhao Xu didn't know why this change happened, it meant that he would treat everything in front of him as a deadly adventure.

"How much damage?" The female mage Lu asked, picking up the arrow that hurt Zhao Xu.

"6hp." Zhao Xu replied simply.

After hearing Zhao Xu's answer, the sorcerers Ying and Lu fell silent.

"What do you mean? Shadow evocation, shadow spells?" After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu finally realized the reason for the two women's silence.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It's really troublesome.

Mage has eight factions, and some spellcasters will choose to specialize in one of the factions, so as to gain a greater advantage in the corresponding faction. Many players will choose this route if they want to take advantage of an extra spell slot.

However, the price of this is the need for spells that oppose one or two factions.

Once someone opposes the two factions of evocation or conjuration, it means that they cannot cast spells from these two factions again.

But everything is not absolute, mages can also simulate the spells of these two factions through the shadow evocation and shadow spells in the illusion department.

It's just that the degree of realism is limited. For example, the simulated fireball of the evocation system only deals part of the damage.

This is authenticity.

Just now Zhao Xu hit a bow and arrow from a bow and arrow trap, and it happened that 6 hp was the upper limit of damage.

If this is really an illusion, it is also a 100% authentic illusion.

It is no different from the real one, and it is completely meaningless to worry about whether it is the eighth floor or whether there is teleportation.

They are on an adventure.

"I'm afraid we have to cheer up now. Even if this is an illusion, people will die." The female mage Ying said lightly.

The female mage Lu glanced at Zhao Xu with concern, "Do you still have your resurrection stone?"

Zhao Xu nodded, five full.

It's just that he can give up the mission without it.

"Since we are all level 2 mages, let's talk about our respective hole cards and see how we can cooperate?" After receiving Zhao Xu's reply, Lu suggested.

"No, you can use whatever method you want. Anyway, no one knows anyone when you go out with a hood, so don't bother with the method." The female mage Ying refused flatly.

"That's okay." The female mage Lu said with a smile after seeing Ying's rebuttal.

"Then I have no objection." Zhao Xu looked at the scene, and it was really difficult to keep it hidden.

He will become more advanced in the future, so naturally he doesn't have to be afraid of others guessing if he has more means.

But now everyone's second-level mages have very limited means, and if they use them casually, it will be written on their faces.

Zhao Xu didn't think much about it when he stood up. He took out the Ion stone that he had hidden before the campfire and let it float behind his head.

He then used the priest spell slot to cast "cure minor wounds" on himself.

Immediately, Zhao Xu's overall state recovered a lot, and his fault tolerance rate in the face of danger was also much higher.

And the two women silently watched him, as a mage, use the healing magic that only priests and other professions can do, and they obeyed the agreement and didn't ask any questions.

The female sorcerer Ying took out an Ain stone like Zhao Xu's and released it on the spot.

After the Ion Stone floated around, she took out a scroll from her bosom and began to cast spells.

When her incantation finished, a puff of smoke emerged from the scroll, and then the arcane words painted on the scroll faded away.

Slowly, the smoke also began to condense into a human shape and then disappeared.

"I released the 'Invisible Servant' spell, which can replace us in exploring the way ahead. Do you have bags and shovels?" asked the female mage Ying.

Zhao Xu glanced at the Ion Stone with caster level + 1 on the top of the opponent's head, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched. He had never seen it in his previous life, but today he met his twin brother.

Zhao Xu immediately took out the tools requested by the other party from his backpack.

In a corner of the forest of deceitful words, the mage with the highest level among the three Arthur players squatted on the ground holding a shovel, opened the mouth of the sack, and kept pouring soil into it.

Like three children playing in mud.

Invisible servants are good helpers for spells, even academic forums have them as assistants.

Although they are invisible and mindless when summoned, only the caster can feel them. But they can still repeat some of the simplest tasks under the command of the caster.

Everything from opening the door, taking out the trash to serving the dishes.

Although the invisible servant could use force to trigger the trap, it had limited power, so Zhao Xu and the others dug a bag of eighty to ninety catties of soil and let the invisible servant drag it.

In this way, even if there is a pit or the like in front, or if the fishing line just triggered the trap, the invisible servant can go first.

When the invisible servant moved forward carrying a bag of soil, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least avoiding those simple traps.

At this time, Zhao Xu didn't think much about it, and was going to continue to put on mage armor on himself.

It's just that the female mage Lu suddenly said: "You guys wait for a while."

After that, she directly took out a sack from the robe, and took out a stack of scrolls from the sack as if by magic.

The number of that thick stack was only a lot more than the ones that Antinoya gave him to copy spells during the journey.

Zhao Xu also immediately understood that what kind of sack was that, it was clearly a dimensional bag of space items.

Even the lowest-level one is 2500GP, which is more expensive than his backpack.

The female mage Lu divided the scrolls into three stacks, handed them to the two in turn, and said softly, "You guys take these scrolls first."

Although the female mage Ying was surprised that Lu had so many scrolls, she didn't say much, she reached into her bosom and took out a small leather bag, and poured out 25 gold coins from it.

It's just that this is just enough for the price of a first-level scroll.

The stack that the female mage Lu handed over had at least 10 cards.

Ying couldn't help but be annoyed that she spent hundreds of gold coins yesterday to buy collectibles because of her collection habit, and she ran out of inventory all at once.

After thinking about the things she brought, she pursed her lips, handed the paper bag wallet to Lu directly, and said, "This wallet should be mortgaged to you first. I picked it up in the floating city. You just need it before sunset." Put in 1 gold coin, and 25 gold coins will appear the next morning. In 11 days, you can pay back your money, but you can’t put more.”

Seeing this plot, Zhao Xu also scratched his head. His first reaction just now was to mentally calculate that his wallet can earn an extra 8,760 gold coins a year.

Obviously he also visits the Floating Void City from time to time, so why doesn't he have such an opportunity.

It seems that most of the two female mages in front of me are as lucky as him.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, looked at the stack of scrolls with a little hesitation, saying that he would be lying if he didn't use them later.

It's just that he really doesn't have the equivalent of a few hundred gold coins.

Antinoya also thought that he didn't need to spend money in the floating city, so Zhao Xu's backpack was just a few dozen gold coins left over from his previous adventure.

Zhao Xu didn't think much about it. The person who could take his pledge in Floating Void City hadn't been born yet. After taking the scroll, he prepared to take out an automatic shorthand pen to pledge to Lu.

However, the female mage Lu waved her hand and blocked the wallet that Ying handed over.

"These are for you. Because most of them were given to me by others, I think they will work better in your hands."

"In other words, I think this trial is probably not just for learning a technique, but may have a deeper meaning. I also hope that you can become stronger."

Ying gave Lu a strange look.

Originally, the female mage Ying was the kind of person who would treat others with kindness, so she handed over the hen that could lay golden eggs on the spot.

As the three most senior mages in the player group, they wouldn't do anything foolish in Floating Void City.

It's just that she was also in the same situation, so she couldn't help asking: "Are you such a saint to everyone?"

Lu, who was wearing a hood and couldn't see her face clearly, shook her head and chuckled: "I will help others, but you all reached level 2 first like me. I'm afraid it's not just your talent?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu and Ying continued to listen to each other in silence.

"So I am very happy to see you who are the same. If you feel sorry, if you see players who need help, just extend a helping hand to them."

At this time, Lu also took out a prism-shaped Ion Stone from his pocket like them, and after releasing it, it floated and hovered above his head.

Then Lu took out a handful from the dimensional bag, and handed over seven or eight first-level mana recovery pearls with both hands.

"There are still these, you can use them to recover spell slots first, but this doesn't belong to me completely, so I can't give it to you."

When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he almost patted his forehead. He never thought that Lu, who was not at all silly, would act so undefended.

Even though he didn't covet it at all, he still couldn't help staring at Lu's dimensional bag that was just placed on the ground, wondering how many things were still inside.

Zhao Xu knew that he might have met the number one rich little woman among the players.

It's just such a scene, and no one would believe it on the forum.
